Proprietary NVIDIA driver for legacy chips

trac.paldo.org offline5 June 2007

Due to extreme resource consumption we needed to shut down the trac service. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope we can put it back on soon.

Support for legacy NVIDIA chips added25 May 2007

We have included the two closed-source NVIDIA drivers for their legacy chips into testing branch. The paldo Xorg start script should automatically detect which driver to use.

Everyone who has installed those drivers by hand may safely remove them now.

For those who used the "nv" driver and whish to make use of the 3D hardware acceleration may replace that with "nvidia" (in /etc/xorg.conf). The paldo Xorg script will automatically link in the correct OpenGL implementation.

Added Evince, the new GNOME document viewer. Leaded to removal of gpdf and acroread (acroread is still available as a package).

Updated whole HP printing system.

paldo 1.1 released10 February 2005

paldo 1.1 has been released with many bug fixes, package updates and the fully modular initramfs kernel.

testing uses new-style initramfs kernel8 November 2004

All our kernels make use of special initramfs capabilities but our unstable branch had a kernel which used initramfs in a new way: Everything but kernel capabilities is now built as module (apart from very few troubling drivers). This means that you should be able to boot paldo from any device and file system linux supports. This method obsoletes also the old fashioned "cold-plugging" of devices. The whole device driver loading procedure is now truly event based. As long as there are enough drivers inside initramfs there is virtually no need to build a customized kernel. Fire up paldo with this kernel build and check lsmod

This kernel was now moved to testing! Please do as many tests as possible.

paldo 1.0 released31 October 2004

Finally, after months of hard work, we finished paldo 1.0. Go and install this fresh and new Linux distribution!
